News: Second Series For Man Like Mobeen

Tiger Aspect, part of Endemol Shine UK, has announced that they have been commissioned by BBC Three for a second series of the Guz Khan comedy Man Like Mobeen.

The commission comes following a successful first series, and will be filming in Birmingham later this year.

Man Like Mobeen, written and created by Guz Khan and Andy Milligan, follows Mobeen (Guz Khan), a 29-year-old man from Small Heath, a reported no go zone for anyone who isn't Muslim and a hotbed for terrorist activity. In reality Mobeen, like most other people in Birmingham, knows no terrorists, and spends his personal time parenting his best friends Eight and Nat and - most importantly - his little sister and love of his family life, Aqsa. He does all of this alone, acting as a very hairy mother, father and brother figure in the hood.

Offering a rarely seen insight into working class life as an ethnic minority, Man Like Mobeen addresses real issues whilst maintaining the comedic palatability of Guz Khan͛s unique voice.

Guz Khan says: I always knew we could make something that would make working class people laugh and be proud of who we are. It just so happens that Cuthbert from Monmouth and a couple of UKIP supporters liked it as well. Who͛d have thought hey?

David Simpson, Executive Producer says: "We are so delighted audiences have embraced Guz Khan's brilliantly funny character Mobeen and we cannot wait to continue telling his unique, funny and often poignant story."
